Methyl Ethyl

Status: EmergingWhy You Should Pay Attention: Methyl Ethel's debut long-player, Oh Inhuman Spectacle, stacked up against Tame Impala and Courtney Barnett for Australia's best psychedelic pop export in 2015, and the buzz hasn't come down since. Up for the Australian Music Prize, the album looks to garner future U.S. and U.K. shine with the group's new 4AD deal. Featuring the sax-accented lo-fi anthem "Twilight Driving" and Jake Webb's emotive vocals throughout "Idée Fixe," his bedroom project-turned-trio plays out like a brain chemistry experiment gone horribly right. "I don't set out to make a certain style of music; it's just a reflection of everything we listen to, from classical to turnt-up electronic music," Webb says.
